Phoenix Zoo koala

Two of the Valley's most popular winter residents are headed
home. The Phoenix Zoo will say goodbye March 31 to Kobi and Sooky,
two koalas on loan from the San Diego Zoo.

The zoo will host a going-away party for the pair 9 a.m. to 2
p.m. Saturday and Sunday. Visitors will be able to chat with the
koalas' keepers, leave well wishes on a going-away card and
participate in koala- and animal-related activities. They'll also
get a last chance to view the koalas, who don't do much but sleep
-- but look adorable doing it.

In conjunction with the party, the zoo is running a contest on
Facebook. Enter your favorite photo of Kobi and Sooky on Phoenix
Zoo's Facebook page to win a prize pack.

The event is included in the general admission price to the zoo.
Phoenix Zoo is at 455 N. Galvin Parkway. For information or
